Service Your Furnace or Boiler Before Winter Arrives
We’ve had a mild early fall so far in Eastern LI – good news if you’re a fan of summer, not so good if you’re a leaf peeper. With cold temps staying away for now, you can put off your annual heating maintenance a little longer, right?
Well, not really.
Servicing Your Long Island Home’s Heating System
There are many reasons to take care of maintenance for your oil-fired heating equipment right now, before cold weather arrives. Here are five important ones:
- Lower heating bills – Your furnace or boiler accumulates dust and dirt in the offseason, and if you got your heating service early last year, fragile parts have worn down after a long winter; those factors and more contribute to diminished efficiency for your equipment. An annual tune-up will clean out blockages and replace worn down internal components, restoring most of your equipment’s efficiency and reducing your bills in the process – usually enough to offset the cost of the tune-up.
- Fewer repairs – Professional maintenance will not only improve efficiency, it will also reduce wear and tear on your heating oil furnace or boiler – a practice that will prolong its life in your home and reduce the likelihood of costly heating repairs.
- Safer equipment – Oil-fired furnaces and boilers are incredibly safe if they’re working properly. But a leak or cracked heat exchanger can be quite dangerous. Heating maintenance spots those issues before they become hazards to your family.
- Faster service – If your heating equipment is nearing a repair, it won’t necessarily break down until it’s under winter stress. The problem is that the arrival of frigid temperatures usually leads to a barrage of repair phone calls. If you don’t want your name at the bottom of that repair list, contact us now to schedule regular heating maintenance.
- A more sellable home – If you’re planning to put your house on the market, having a well-maintained furnace or boiler (with the paperwork to prove it) could be a significant selling point. Get that paperwork in order by scheduling a furnace or boiler inspection and service visit now.
